Divorce can be expensive. According to a recent study, the average divorce costs $15,500, with legal fees accounting for the majority of the cost.

Costs of divorces can range significantly, with highly contested divorces that require trial being more expensive than a more simple divorce. Children also cause the cost of a divorce to increase significantly. Also, average divorce costs vary from state to state because of regional differences such as living costs also cause a variance in cost.

States with higher costs of living tend to have higher divorce cost. Only two out of the top ten states with the most expensive divorces have a lower than average cost of living. Divorces also tend to be less common in the states where divorces are more expensive.
